This is Tattered On My Sleeve from the This Darkened Heart record. Oldie but a goodie! You can check out my stream Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 8pm on Twitch! / philthatremains
I wish you knew Phil how much this song means to me. I was in a dark, dark place. Suicidal thoughts, misanthropic, looking for a reason. This song helped me out of that. I’d listen to it on repeat all day and night. Now I’m 32, and I’m soo thankful to be able to sit here and tell this story now. Thank you.
Disclaimer: my English is not perfect. I'm completely BLOWN AWAY. I don't know if you'll ever see this but: I met ATR in 2007 if memory serves well: on MixUp, I walked in and the video for “The Air That I Breathe” was on the TV’s, I was a pre-teenager back then. I went once a week for albums. When I heard that sound…I went crazy. At that time I was listening to 80's rock/metal, some rap around here, jazz and filmscore. I arrived and asked for the album that was on the TV’s from my trusted bro in the store. He started looking for it but there was none (Mexico) the only thing that was in the import area was a DVD of “All Thar Remains LIVE” the Baltimore concert. Without thinking I took it. The dude at the store had such a smile I will never forget lmao. I got home, locked myself in my room, put it on my DVD player with my 27” Sony grey CRT TV and played the DVD... how that album blew my mind…fuck me! There were two concerts: if I'm not wrong, Philly and Baltimore. The one from Baltimore…was something else dude…fucking peak of baddassery. The sound, the lyrics, everything…it was brutal, visceral, perfect. I remember the special features. You had a Halo 2 wallpaper from master chief in your Blackberry, and redbulls…loads of it. A pretty funny sketch of you guys going for redbull to a little store lmao. You helped me in difficult times, you made me fly with my first love watching the stars on the beach with Chiron. I will never forget any of this. I'm really late to the party, I don't have Twitch or anything, but I regret not seeing this sooner. Today I have the concert of my life. You are amazing Labonte. Greetings from Mexico. Thank you for everything, always in my heart and on my playlist. Ps: In the Baltimore concert, at the end I remember was a kid around 11 years old so happy that was his first concert. I was so jelous! AND a lad that came out saying something like: “This is what I get to come into a concert like this *shows his right hand all FUCKED up* a fucking fingers broken. Hahahaha love it. Thanks for all! With love from México since 17 years ago .l.
Not sure if you’ve done the air that I breathe yet but you should if you haven’t. That was the first ATR song I ever heard back in 2007ish. It came on my zune when I bought, it had the music video on there already 🤘I have to stop by the streams more often
THIS SHIT HAS MADE THE QUARANTINE TOTALLY WORTH IT. Phil, please do Just Moments in Time, or For Salvation, or Fuck Love I'll give you some 9mm as a tip, much love from Michigan! Hope to see you tear the air up soon when all this stuff is over.
